1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Focused ultrasound (FUS) appears to be a promising form of thermal ablation for treatment of cervical lesions, but evidence supporting its use is limited. This review evaluated the efficacy and safety of FUS treatment of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). The overall efficacy of FUS on HPV clearance was 75.0-85.7 % at 3 months, 35.5-77.1 % at 6 months and 64.7-94.1 % at 12 months. Its efficacy on low grade SIL and high grade SIL regression were 83.3-96.8 % and 70.9-96.6 % at 6 months, respectively. Complications were uncommon. FUS appears to be an effective and safe treatment modality for cervical HPV and SIL.
